Making Connections

Life is all about making connections with others, don’t you think?  It’s what makes life worth living.

A big shout out to the folks at RedWolfSolutions.com for making some connections here.

First off….a little light-hearted entertainment….

Please do take note of the the license plate on the rear of the vehicle at the 00:47 mark of this video (Don’t worry…you can pause it if you need to).

Now, connections that will warm your heart….

A certain UNC Dental School grad who shall remain nameless (Spencer B. Howard, DDS), who is co-founder of Iceberg, the company now infamous for both its mouthguards and its unfailing generosity to student athletes everywhere…everywhere in Chapel Hill that is…also happens to be the gentleman who incorporated Kairobi Exotic Rentals and Transport Inc., located in…Durham, NC.

Kairobi Exotic Rentals (Or KER for short…remember that) has an employee named “H. Patrick Thomas”.  Not just an employee, but listed on official documents as “Principal”.  See….

KERFatsPrinciple

Could the “H” possibly stand for “Haydn”?  If so, the plot certainly thickens…don’t it?

But wait, we’re just getting warmed up….

It seems that most, if not all, of Kairobi Exotic Rentals’ vehicles have NC plate numbers beginning with “KER”, and followed by a number.  Which makes this little nugget at least interesting, if not “incriminating”….

We wonder how many other Parking-gate tickets that have thus far been largely ignored cite vehicles with plates beginning with “KER”?

So, is Fats a rogue employee lending out cars willy-nilly to his friends without the company’s knowledge or authorization?  Or is it more likely that Fats is a go-between?  Considering that the gentleman listed on the articles of incorporation for Kairobi Exotic Rentals is a UNC Dental School grad, who also happens to be a co-founder of Iceberg….

Let’s just say we don’t believe in coincidences like this, shall we?

For a more complete look at these connections, please go here and have a look.

And once again, big shout out to RedWolfSolutions…great work!!!

fridayee

And for just a little more FRIDAY afternoon entertainment (it’s Friday, so it’s over now…right?), it has now come to light that….well, just read this….

Police report: UNC’s Hairston switched drivers before checkpoint, got Yukon from ‘Fats’ Thomas (NewsObserver.com)

A detailed police report into the traffic stop and arrest of UNC basketball star P.J. Hairston says that he switched places with a passenger to try to avoid a citation of driving without a license, admitted to being a “recreational” marijuana user and had been given the rental car that he was driving to go to Atlanta and see friends.

The new details raise more questions about Hairston’s standing with the basketball program, which is currently reviewing the situation. The details also counter claims by the Durham man who had rented the car, Haydn “Fats” Thomas, who had told reporters he did not give the 2013 GMC Yukon to Hairston but to another man in the car.

[snip]

Hairston told police he had been driving the car, but when he saw the checkpoint he realized he could not find his drivers license. He woke up Miykael Faulcon, a friend who was in the passenger seat. Faulcon, 20, of Durham, is a basketball player for Elizabeth City State University.

“Mr. Hairston then stated that while he was stopped, he switched spots with Mr. Faulcon,” the report said. “Mr. Hairston then stated that they then drove up to the license check point.”

Hairston denied using marijuana that day, and at first told police he does not smoke marijuana. Navarre then asked when was the last time Hairston smoked marijuana, and Hairston “stated it was about two weeks ago.”

“Mr. Hairston stated that he does not smoke marijuana on a regular basis, however, he is a recreational smoker,” the report said. “Mr. Hairston stated that he does not smoke marijuana to get high, but he will take a ‘hit’ or two occasionally.”

Hairston said he had received the vehicle two hours before the traffic stop from a man he identified as “Fatts.”

“Mr. Hairston stated that ‘Fatts’ rented the vehicle for Mr. Hairston because he was planning on traveling to Atlanta this weekend to see some friends,” the report said.

Just a couple of questions here…

1) Does not smoke marijuana to get high?????  Seriously?  Is there some other reason to pay thru the nose to smoke something, of which the intended purpose as we understand it is to get “high”?

2) Switched spots while stopped, then drove to the checkpoint.  So, when exactly did the firearm get tossed?

Just saying.

Pop the popcorn and of course…stay tuned.

    I’m 90% sure the “Private Message” on PP is just those guys screwing around with the UNC lurkers at PP.

    I certainly could be wrong, but some over there are selling it way too hard.

  2. highstick 07/13/2013 at 3:42 PM #

    You’re right GA…they were just screwing with anyone gullible enough to “bite” on PP..If you noticed, the admins over there kept locking down those threads so you couldn’t post…but a ton got through before they locked..

    I would agree that it seems like smoke and mirrors over on PP. However, Jacey Zembal stated in the weekly “War Room” on the Wolfpacker that there is a buzz going around amongst the coaches and scouts at the Nike basketball camp he is at that something big is going to drop in the UNC case. I also read something about a major publication (possibly SI) being the ones to drop the bomb. Then again, I am the gullible type, especially when it concerns the possibility of the demise of the Cheaters!

    I think you will always find a much, much better wheat:chaff ratio here. My two cents.

    ^^ Excellent suggestion Red…

    Is the Hamburger Hut still open on West Morgan Street ?

    Back in the day…. when it was on Hillsborough Street…. my boyz and I ate breakfast or lunch there 3-4 times a week… before we had cars on campus and could go to the CHAR-GRILL…
    ————–
    As far as PJ and his boyz go….. there really ain’t but one question left to be answered….

    Did they come totally clean the FIRST TIME they met with Uncle Roy after the “incident” or not ???

    If not…. their A$$es are history in blue…. just a matter of time. If not, ole Uncle Roy will be ‘retiring’ before October 15th….

    Not even Uncle Roy…. should have to put up with his boyz not telling him everything he needed to know.

    Maybe PJ and Leslie should head West to UCLA… ( remember….LDII && the Ware bros. )…. I understand they have a opening and don’t mind punks on the team….

  7. highstick 07/13/2013 at 8:03 PM #

    I have no doubts that there is much to come and soon…but that was a “chain yanker” with the PM threads…

  8. Virginia Wolf 07/13/2013 at 9:39 PM #

    So, PJ says, he doesn’t do it to get high but only recreationally. Would that recreation be Basketball games? Nothing to see here, just move along!

    Hey TheCOWDOG: if you can spare a minute, pls check your inbox on the SFN forum…

    Funny from the UK board:

    ‘I keep setting my DVR for “Cheaters”, but all I am getting recorded is UNC sports.’

    News flash!!!!!!! Hall of Shame Cheat coach breaks wind on PJ Harry-stone…..saying nothing while stinking up the place.

    …actually ole Uncle Roy did ( intentionally …I’m sure ) give us a little “peak around the corner” as to the endgame over there….
    ————————–
    Quoting Uncle Roy….
    ” Certainly the idea of suspending PJ has been discussed. However, he is not currently enrolled in summer school, is not practicing with the team and we have no games until November.”….

    “There are several options available in terms of discipline but we are going to wait until the process is complete to decide on those options.”
    ————————-

    Now…. We have multiple things going on here simultaneously. Exactly which ” process” might Uncle Roy be referring to?

    Only real answer to that is the one Uncle Roy is running…. not the judicial system.

    Anybody want to put odds on whether or not the players in question will enroll for Fall semester ??

    I’m betting Uncle Roy says NO to one or more.

  13. MrPlywood 07/15/2013 at 4:25 PM #

    Color me stunned (nah, not really) that no one at the flagship has noted the multiple rental cars, the relationship with a felon, the felon’s ties to the dental school, the mouthguards, etc. PJ is a symptom, not the disease.

  14. TheCOWDOG 07/15/2013 at 5:01 PM #

    I will stake Beach Bum Bill at 8:5 odds of a return of anyone associated with multiple rentals.

  15. NCSU88 07/15/2013 at 9:40 PM #

    Since the athletes are not currently enrolled, then technically it isn’t a *NC or team issue. Am I right?

  16. JohnGalt78 07/15/2013 at 10:05 PM #

    Hairystone placed on Double Secret Probation. No weed for two weeks and must drive a Kia….a free Kia, but a Kia.

    Wow. I’m reading all this gangsta you guys are quoting from the video, I assume. Obviously, I haven’t watched it but would it really clear things up for me if I did?

    Dagumit….”We will care about each individual but there will be serious actions taken that will fix these issues. I take pride in our values and how we have conducted ourselves for a long time here at Carolina and this time will pass but it will be dealt with strongly.”

    Translation: We love ourselves sooooooooo much. We truly do! And we are soooooooo proud of ourselves! Oh, and this little boo boo…..well, it really didn’t happen….and if it did, that was yesterday. Today is today! And we are the Fagship! Get over people….like we have!
